Steve Cargill Posted October 22, 2001 Share Posted October 22, 2001 Following an NSX toady crusing at 100-120 (on my own private test track before anyone asks.....) I noticed that between 100 and 110 the steering started getting lighter and felt odd. It wasn't like the variable rate PAS, more like the front end of the car going light. It still drove OK, but just wonder if this is normal - I'm not going to take off shortly, am I :-() Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Supragirl Posted October 22, 2001 Share Posted October 22, 2001 Do you have a front active spoiler? as if so, was it down at the time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Cargill Posted October 22, 2001 Author Share Posted October 22, 2001 Hi Supragirl, no active spoiler and the bodywork is standard. Is that something you'd get if you didn't have your spoiler down? Is your spoiler up the same as a fixed one? Paul, I think Heathrow tower may have got me confused with Concord, it was taking off at about the same time. P.S. the NSX toady is not a new ugly model, just having finger problems :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know when other Supra drivers have had problems with their active spoiler not coming down that the front of the car can feel very "light", but as you don't have an active front spoiler that cannot be the answer. What happened when you went over 110?? Did the "light" feeling disappear? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Cargill Posted October 22, 2001 Author Share Posted October 22, 2001 No, it stayed about the same. I guess its 'just' aerodynamics and I'm wondering if it's normal or not. Unfortunatly this is probably very subjective and difficult to pin down. If I ever make it to a meet I'll carefully look at everyones setup and see if mine is OK.

Guest Ash Posted October 22, 2001 Share Posted October 22, 2001 Your PPS ECU may be being fed with a divided signal. Does your ODO read miles of KMS? Yours, J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Cargill Posted October 22, 2001 Author Share Posted October 22, 2001 Odo still reads in K's. Speedo was a 180Kph that now read 180MPH. Does the signal wrap around or generally get confused then? If anything I'd have thought the affect would have been my extra assistance would have stayed on until a higher speed as it would either be wheel rotations that stayed the same, or effectivly percentage way around the speedo. Or am I talking 'ollox? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
